Facebook Complaint Dismissed

After suing a host of defendants, a pro se plaintiff’s case against the chroniclers of Facebook has come to an end. The plaintiff, who was a student at Harvard at the same time as Mark Zuckerberg, alleged copyright infringement, defamation, and a variety of other wrongs. Magistrate Judge Collings, in an expansive opinion, analyzes each of them and orders them dismissed with prejudice.
